Escaping ' in JS ...
For some reason, I can't seem to get this line to work :/

Tried;
["||'Brave New World' - Aldous Huxley", "javascript:do_move('browser.cgi?do=move_link_do;site=ADB;linkid=;catid=509','Literature/Novels/'Brave New World' - Aldous Huxley')", "/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder1.gif","/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder1.gif","/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder2.gif"],

..and
["||\'Brave New World\' - Aldous Huxley", "javascript:do_move('browser.cgi?do=move_link_do;site=ADB;linkid=;catid=509','Literature/Novels/\'Brave New World\' - Aldous Huxley')", "/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder1.gif","/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder1.gif","/submit/cat_browse_new/img/icons/folder2.gif"],

... but neither of them work :/

I'm aware of the escape() function in Javascript, but I'm not sure that will be any use to me? :|

TIA for any ideas. This is driving me mad Pirate

Cheers

Just a note: you should not wrap javascript call arguments into multiple lines.
Try to compress into 1 line, if it works. I had similar javascript problems.

Thanks, but thats not the problem <G> I put it on multiple lines so it could be read ;)

Turned out I needed to escape some " as well as ', because they were interfering with the closing tags
